Public Health

Public health and safety is a matter for all of us. The risks of disease and even death caused by unsanitary conditions, poor hygiene and inadequate maintenance have a direct impact on the business and general community as well as longer term social and financial costs.

Public Health Services

Council employs staff who specialise in environmental health activities to carry out a broad range of inspections from an educational and enforcement perspective. The primary aim of these inspections is to ensure that food sold is safe to consume.

Pollution is the release of harmful substances into our surroundings, which impacts on the health of the natural environment. As well as affecting our environment, pollution can also impact on our health and wellbeing.
